This is looking from Campsite 1 at the Southern End of Mountain Pond, looking North. Old NY 30 winds right along the shore of NY 30, the New Routing is about a 1/2 mile away for NY 30.
Taken on Saturday August 14, 2010 at Mountain Pond.
Located at the intersection of Farr Road and North Lake Road, this lake is near the Black River, about 10 miles south of South Lake.
This shows the campsites south-west of the Franklin Falls Pond/Reservoir. The Saranac River at this point is mostly navigable at higher level flows but it is shallow with lots of big boulders and some rapids. You will be hoping in out of your canoe. Most of the campsites can also be accessed by parking on the shoulder of the road and climbing down a steep bank to campsites along the shoreline.
From the Hammond Pond Parking Area on Moriah Road (4 miles east of US 9), head south on the Berrymill Flow Trail. The flow is roughly 1 1/2 miles south of the parking area, with only a very slight incline. Head south-east on the Mouse Mountain Pond Trail another 1 1/2 miles to reach the lake which contains a lean-to on the north shore. Slight incline, gaining 200 feet before dropping over a ridge to the pond.

The Red Horse Trail in the southern Five Ponds Wilderness of the Adirondacks is a historic, challenging trail dating back to 1922. Spanning five miles from Big Burnt Lake to Clear Lake, it features serene lakes, old-growth forests, and wetland boardwalks. Divided into three sections, the trail's remoteness and limited access, primarily by boat, preserve its wilderness character. Highlights include Salmon Lake, Witchhopple Lake, and Clear Lake, with a mix of challenging and level terrain. The trail offers opportunities for camping, canoeing, and kayaking, providing a genuine wilderness experience away from more frequented Adirondack trails.
